Reading this I thought, well maybe we have him and it's the Oct. Surprise. Or maybe he is dead and his body is the Oct. surprise.
But then I realized something, if he is dead, if he is caught is it going to even matter? Al-Quida I'm sure has bank accounts like a corporation and the next in charge will have access to the money.
If he is dead would it not be better to just leave his body as missing and therefore he cannot be made a martyr of? I mean if noone knows where he is they do not know if he is dead or is just in hiding, so by questioning it leaves open the "he's a chicken" to the radicals and therefore makes it harder to recruit. If he's dead and we show the body, then he becomes a martyr and his followers can say, "see he believed in the cause so much he died for it, so how can you not?"
I think way too damn much.

Pakistan minister thinks bin Laden is dead
Sat Sep 11, 1:56 AM ET
KARACHI (AFP) - Pakistan's information minister said on the eve of the third anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks, that Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) was probably dead.

Information Minister Sheikh Rashid had no evidence to back up his theory but pointed out that it had been some months since bin Laden had released any statements.
"It is purely my political guess that Osama bin Laden may not be in the world," Rashid told reporters in this southern port city on Friday.
"For a long time we have not heard or seen any statements from the Al-Qaeda leader," he added.
The last audio-taped message attributed to bin Laden was released in May.
Last week Pakistan dismissed a US claim that bin Laden's capture was in sight as pre-election posturing.
Bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, who appeared in a video-taped message this week, are widely believed to hiding in the mountainous region between Pakistan and Afghanistan
